Fund Aims

The investment objective of the VT AJ Bell Passive Balanced is to achieve long-term capital growth with a balanced approach between lower risk assets such as cash and fixed income and higher risk assets such as equities. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing primarily in listed securities (ETFs, futures, fixed income securities, money market instruments and equities), but also, particularly in the early stages of the Fund's growth, in other collective investment schemes. The Fund will invest, wherever practically possible, in 'passive' investments, which are instruments and investment strategies that aim to track the performance of various financial indices. The Fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or futures. Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.

Aims and Benchmark

Aims The investment objective of the VT AJ Bell Passive Balanced is to achieve long-term capital growth with a balanced approach between lower risk assets such as cash and fixed income and higher risk assets such as equities. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing primarily in listed securities (ETFs, futures, fixed income securities, money market instruments and equities), but also, particularly in the early stages of the Fund's growth, in other collective investment schemes. The Fund will invest, wherever practically possible, in 'passive' investments, which are instruments and investment strategies that aim to track the performance of various financial indices. The Fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or futures. Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.
Benchmark NONE - The performance of the Fund can be assessed by comparing its total return to funds with similar return and/or risk objectives. The IA (Investment Association) provides the median performance of funds with similar characteristics (IA sectors). The Fund is assigned to the Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares IA sector. Other providers also provide peer groups, based on asset allocation or historical volatility, of which the Fund may be assigned, these may be a useful guide to assess performance.

Fund Specific Risks

Value of Investments

The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.

Investments Long Term

Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.

Derivative Exposure

The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their use for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM). Investors should be aware that the use of these instruments can, under certain circumstances, increase the volatility and risk profile of the Fund beyond that expected of a fund that only invests in equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their obligations which in turn could lead to losses arising.

New Fund

The charges and expenses may make up a higher proportion of a newly launched fund than initially estimated.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed

What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation

Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief

Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
